Okay I lied. I thought it would be
nice to have a last post that kind of wrapped things up. And more than
anything, I wanted to say thank you to anyone who has ever read. I landed in
Thailand yesterday, meaning that after three years of making it my home, I have
officially left the continent of Africa. This was a wonderful and life-changing
experience. To paraphrase a beloved priest in the states, it helped me to see
the world through different eyes, and I am extremely grateful for the
opportunity. Also thank you for ever reading. This was such a special and
monumental experience for me, it meant so much for me to be able to share it
with others.
And why not finish with a few
stories. Saturday when I traveled back down to Maputo from Inharrime, the rain
had slowed us down so I got in around 6pm (after dark) and it was pouring. I knew
that these conditions can make guys like taxi drivers be jerks—a young white
girl alone in the rain after dark doesn’t have a whole lot of bargaining power—so
I was dreading my interactions with the taxi drivers. I told the first car
where I was going and he said a surprisingly reasonable price, so I jumped in
immediately. It wasn’t until I was sitting and buckling in that I realized the
windshield in front of me was shattered inward in what was the distinctly
concave imprint of a human butt. “Is that from a person?” I asked. Why? Why do I
ask questions I clearly don’t want to know the answer to?
When I arrived at the stop for the
overnight bus to Johannesburg (where I would fly out of) I got my credit card
out and found a stupidly well-hidden 1000met bill in my wallet that I hadn’t
accounted for. You can’t exchange the Metical anywhere in the world outside of
Mozambique, so I was deteremined not to cross the border with it (it’s about
$30), but it was 7pm and my bus was leaving soon. So I used my Africa-made Portuguese
skills, charm, and perseverance to convince the guy selling cashews to exchange
with me for South African Rand, including him rounding up Rand notes from his
buddies selling phone credit or chips nearby so I could exchange the whole 1000.

Also an update: baby D went to live with her paternal grandmother on Tuesday and it seems that things are going well. I think about her all the time, I hope she's happy and loved where she is and remembers somewhere inside that I love her too.
